After Paul Mullin, a striker for Man Utd, was hospitalised for a ruptured lung, Wrexham yelled at the goalie.
The game between Wrexham and Manchester United was overshadowed by the injury to star striker Paul Mullin, who led Wrexham to a 3-1 victory.
Paul Mullin, the League Two team’s star striker, had a perforated lung as a result of contact between a Manchester United custodian and Mullin, angering Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson.
After only 12 minutes, Mullin collided with Nathan Bishop, who required lengthy medical attention on the pitch before drowsily leaving the pitch while wearing an oxygen mask around his neck.
The forward was taken to the hospital and is now likely to miss Wrexham’s season opener against MK Dons in ten days. Last season, the forward scored 38 goals as Wrexham won promotion out of the National League.
- After the game, Parkinson stated, “I’ve got to be honest with you, I’m angry about it. “I’m not happy. It was a clumsy, careless challenge in a preseason game.”
- It ought to have been a solid crimson. If you combine the two cases, you can see that even if the challenge does not prevent a goal from being scored, it is still hazardous and he ought to have been taken off the pitch. It’s a risky challenge, and Paul Mullin is undoubtedly our protector.
“I haven’t seen the goalie, but it would probably be best for him to stay away from us for the time being because we are not happy,” the goalie said.
- In spite of the incident, Wrexham had a very successful night overall, winning for the second time in a row as part of their preseason tour of the US.
Ryan Reynolds was unable to attend the San Diego friendly, but fellow owner Rob McElhenney was there to watch the League Two rookies win at Snapdragon Stadium in front of a packed house.
Marc Jurado scored for Travis Binnion’s team on a night when Dan Gore was sent off as Wrexham defeated a United team primarily made up of Under-21 players. Elliot Lee, Aaron Hayden, and Sam Dalby also scored for Wrexham.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of United, sat on the sidelines as Lee and Hayden gave Parkinson’s team a lead at halftime before Gore was sent off for a tackle on Andy Cannon early in the second half.
